Make the role your own
We are in the unique position where we can find a role to suit you, rather than you fitting into a role defined by us. Full time or part time, consulting only, or a more regular role involving consulting and surgical time. We are flexible in what we can offer and are willing to work with applicants to find what is best for them.
Rota Patterns
Work-life balance is very important to us; all our staff work to live, not the other way round. A full-time working week is 4 days, with a set day off per week and one in eight Saturday mornings. Consultations are 15 minutes as standard, with longer appointments for more complex cases, blood samples and euthanasia. There is protected admin time throughout the day to be able to do what is needed to help our clients, without putting additional time pressures on our vets.
Out of hours provision is provided by Vets Now based out of our main hospital site in Clayton Le Dale, which means inpatient care is continuous without the need for patient transfers.
